Even still, Meh.
OK, that's definitely a bit better than what I initially thought was Zoey, but I'm still not crazy about it. --- Christopher Gilland JAWS Certified, 2016. Training Instructor.

That's because the voice you hear when you enter the page is Ava. To hear what Zoe sounds like, press VO+Command+J until you hear Gender. Click on it and VO+Right to select female. Press VO+Space. Next, go to the voice and press VO+space. Select Zoe by doing the same method as above for the gender and press VO+Space. Type something in and let her read to you.

I mean, have you guys heard this one yet? She's freaking awesome! Her name is Zoe and she's the most human sounding voice they've ever created. You can use her with Mac OS Sierra. If you want to listen to her, go to http://www.nuance.com/landing-pages/playground/Vocalizer_Demo2/vocalizer_modal.html and set it to use Zoe. Type in some stuff and let her read to you. They also have three other new voices called Evelyn, Nathan who are all US English voices like Zoe, and Malcom, a new British English voice. And no, I'm not breaking any NDA. Nuance announced that these voices would be in Mac OS Sierra long before WWDC.

I'll say this. I did see the keynote, and I did see them using Siri. Would the male voice be something you guys would want? If so, I cannot reveal if it's already there or not, but what I'll say is, if, it's not already there, nor is intended to be there, I'd be happy on the back end to put it in as a dev feedback request, provided it's not there already. Either way, you'll have to trust that we devs will voice the possibility, if it be wanted by you guys. Would that be something you all would like to see in addition to Samantha ia if it be something we devs could convince Apple to do? --- Christopher Gilland JAWS Certified, 2016. Training Instructor.

Folks, looks like we will be getting Siri when Mac OS Sierra comes out this Fall. During the keynote yesterday, they used Samantha as the voice so I’m not sure if the Mac will be getting the voices we’ve been enjoying on our iPHones for a little while now. Just wondered if anybody had their own impressions of Mac OS Sierra yet? Of course, I realize that it’s hard to get much of an impression from a demo meant for the light dependant; still, just thought I’d ask.
